boyst Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Who doesn't make nicknames for co-workers? The only one that should be offended, is the person given the nickname, if they don't like it. Some companies, like where I work, you have multiple people with the same first name, so you either call them by their last name, or give them a nickname.tom calls them all idiots. But he isn't working right now, so yeah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
without a drought Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Should it be J-Ry or J-Mul? Thought about it but Jeff's mullet wasn't that great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saxum Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Memo to "Rusty" or "RB" or whatever nickname you give yourself, You are nothing more then a carnival barker.

K-9 Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 With the passing of Tom Modrak today it brought to light yet another side of Russ Brandon that is deplorable. You see, good old Rusty has a penchant for coming up with crafty nicknames for his coworkers. He referred to Tom Modrak as "T-Mo." Yes that is correct, "T-Mo." In the past Russ has referred to Doug Marone as "Dougie" and Doug Whaley as "Whales." When the Sabres honored Brian Gionta recently for some reason they released a statement from Russ Brandon where he referred to Gionta as "Gio." Memo to "Rusty" or "RB" or whatever nickname you give yourself, You are nothing more then a carnival barker. Stop making up stupid nicknames for your coworkers. Your act has worn extremely thin in this town and most of the sensible Bills and now Sabres fans would love to send you packing. The Bills have sucked during your time with the team and you are never held accountable even though you are the Managing Partner and President. Go away and take your stupid nicknames with you. Every one of those nicknames was in place for every one of those guys well BEFORE they ever knew Russ Brandon. Just a ridiculous post all the way around.

Some companies, like where I work, you have multiple people with the same first name, so you either call them by their last name, or give them a nickname.Or the co workers without nicknames. However, I don hate Russ Brandon. But, not for this. Nicknames are good for team bonding! I think the OP is upset no one ever gave him a nickname Even he has a nick name! (unless Shorty was his real name.......) Bahhahha! Shorty aka Short Round was great!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blacklabel Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 This has to be trolling, right? Nicknames and sports go together like peanut butter and jelly. I don't think there's one guy on the Sabres that gets called by his actual name. I'm surprised this guy didn't bring up Brian "Soupy" Campbell. How alarming. And I guess I never understood the hate for Russ Brandon. Yeah, he definitely should've never been a GM but he's a business guy and if you're the Bills and Sabres, business isn't too bad right now. The product on the field and on the ice needs work but Brandon is right there alongside the Pegulas helping them structure the deals that put together the Harbor Center, aided in getting renovations done at New Era Field. He must be doing something right considering he's outlasted numerous front office changes. To me, he's just a dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
